 ii. the central hub is configured to dispose the platform at a non-zero angle from the horizon; 
 
 
 b. applying pressure to the platform by cyclically applying linear force to the top surface of the rotating platform so as to produce a rotational motion around the central hub and base. 
 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 5 , wherein the linear force is applied by the foot of the user to the high region of the platform. 
     
     
       7. A non-zero rotation balance system for use on a floor in centrifugal balance training by a user, comprising:
 a. a central hub comprising a rotation mechanism; 
 b. a base comprising:
 i. a first elongate leg comprising a first leg proximal end, a first leg distal end and a first foot disposed at the first leg distal end; 
 ii. a second elongate leg comprising a second leg proximal end, a second leg distal end and a second foot disposed at the second leg distal end; and 
 iii. a third elongate leg comprising a third leg proximal end, a third leg distal end and a third foot disposed at the third leg distal end, 
 wherein the first proximal leg end, second proximal leg end and third proximal leg end are fixedly attached to the central hub, 
 wherein the first leg distal end, second leg distal end and third leg distal end are disposed radially at approximately 120° from the central hub to define a base circumference, 
 wherein the first foot, second foot and third foot define a base plane on the floor, and 
 wherein at least one of the first foot, second foot and third foot is adjustable; and 
 
 c. a substantially circular rotating platform comprising a top surface and rotatably attached to the central hub opposite the base at a non-zero angle from the base plane, 
 wherein:

 B. a second quadrant; 
 C. a third quadrant; and 
 D. a fourth quadrant. 
 
 
 
     
     
       8. The system of  claim 7 , wherein the rotating platform is configured to be directionally rotated relative to the base by selectively applying pressure to the top surface of the platform in the first quadrant, second quadrant, third quadrant and fourth quadrant so as to induce angular momentum and rotation of the platform. 
     
     
       9. The system of  claim 8 , wherein the rotation of the platform around the central hub is capable of sufficient speed to require centrifugal balance for the user to stay mounted. 
     
     
       10. The system of  claim 9 , wherein the system is configured to generate centrifugal force about an axis of rotation which is substantially similar to the axis of the body of the user.
